If you’ve just bought a new Lodar remote or are trying to reset your existing one, this step-by-step guide will help you get it paired and working in minutes.


We’re covering the Lodar TI Standard Transmitter – used in most 2, 4, and 6 function systems (and compatible with some 8 and 10 button setups too). If you’re not sure what remote you have, you can [view our full Lodar range here].


What You’ll Need:


  • Your Lodar TI remote (with LoCover removed)

  • Access to the Lodar receiver unit

  • 2 x AAA alkaline batteries (already fitted)

  • Optional: paperclip or small tool for battery access (If you dont have fingernails!)


Step 1: Reset the Remote


  1. Disconnect the power to your Lodar receiver.

  2. While the power is off, briefly press the STOP (red) button on the transmitter.


    • If you’re pairing two remotes, press STOP on both.

    • This clears any stored memory and ensures a clean pairing.



Step 2: Enter Registration Mode


  1. On the remote, press and hold both the STOP (red) and SET (green) buttons.

  2. Keep holding for around 5 seconds until the LED starts to flash.

  3. Release the buttons.




You should see the LED blink like this: FLASH… pause… FLASH… pause

This means the remote is now in registration mode.



Step 3 (Optional): Choose Memory Location


If your system uses two transmitters, you can assign them to different memory slots.


  • Location 1: Single flash + pause

  • Location 2: Double flash + pause (FLASH FLASH pause…)

To move between memory slots:


  • Press the SET (green) button to go up.

  • Press the STOP (red) button to go down.


If you only have one transmitter, skip this step and move straight to Step 4.



Step 4: Register the Remote


  1. Reconnect power to the Lodar receiver.

  2. You now have a 10 second window to complete the pairing:


    • Press and hold the SET (green) button on the transmitter.

    • Hold it for 5 seconds, or until the receiver’s STATUS LED lights up solid.



Once the LED stays on, the remote is successfully paired.


Troubleshooting Tips


  • Nothing happening? Double-check the batteries — the transmitter uses two standard AAA batteries.

  • LED not flashing? You may not be holding both buttons long enough in Step 2.

  • Still not working? It’s possible the receiver memory is full or damaged. Contact us if you need a replacement.

Final Tip



Every Lodar remote includes a built-in safety feature: if left idle for 30 minutes, the transmitter automatically sends a STOP signal and shuts itself down. So if your system seems unresponsive after being unused — this might be why.
